The Cars Protest.

ST. PETERSBURG, August 22.-It is off,
cially announced that the government has
sent circular to the Powers declaring that
it is unable to recognize the validity of
Prince Ferdinand's election to the throne.of
Bulgaria. According to the circular Prince
Ferdinand acquainted the Gar with the
fact of his election and requested permis-
sion to visit st. Petersburg in order to
learn the Cars wishes before going to Bull
garia. The Gar replied that the Princes
election
COULD NOT BE RECOGNIZED
by Russia, and that the Prince could, by
no pretext, justify his journey to Bulgaria.
The circular, in conclusion, expressed the
hope that the Bulgarian people will coin
eide with Russia's views, and not permit a.
fragrant violation of the Berlin treaty
The Moscow Gazette say the Russian cir
cular to the Powers regarding Prince Fer
dinand, has given great satisfaction
throughout Russia. 1t believes
PRINCE FERDINAND's RETIREMENT
now to be inevitable and it says if he does
not leave Bulgaria. Russia will renounce
her obligations under the Berlin treaty,
which che has always regarded as a bitter
deception after a glorious war;"

We assert that the Democratic party in
Congress is opposed to the repeal OF the In
ternal Revenue system, as shown by the
declaration OF it's leaders from President
Cleveland down. Ne appeal to you to
support the Republican candidate for the
Legislature and not waste your votes on
candidates whose faction favoring the re-
peal of these taxes is in hopeless minor
ity in it's national party. The platform Of
the Roanake Convention respecting the
tariff is arraigned as misleading and seek
ing to deceive the people upon question
vital to their interests.

LEAvENWoRTH TROUBLES.

The recent troubles in Leavenworth are
not of character to cause congratulations
among good law abiding citizens The
spectacle of good law and order patriot
like D. R. Anthony being assaulted with q
bull whip on the public streets by fellow
citizen of his town, and then Mr.. Anthony
appearing in court of justice to give tes-
timony with big vicious revolver lying
across his lap is a proceeding not of q
character to enspire respect for law. D r..
however, gives notice that the policy Of
the Times will be carried out to-wit: ITO
pulverize the rum power" Ordinarily 1t
can be counted the rum power will get
left, but when 1t comes to settling the
matter with such implements as bull whips
and reyolvers 1t Is difficult to tell who will
get left. Truth is mighty and will pre-
vail, but ii is said death loves shining
mark nevertheless. That is what makes
us feel alarmed for d. r. Anthony. The
editor Of the Times begs for quarters in
the following plaintive tones:
Now Billy bond or any other brute like
him, or any of his CO conspirators, who
by their sneaking, craven course show they
are more cowardiy than he who desire 10
kill us. let them give us half chance for
our life-ssy al least ten feet, with good
shot guns.

THE OHIO ELECTION.

The assembling of the Ohio Republican
convention was of more than local interest.
The prominent part taken by Senator Sher-
m an, and the endorsement of him by the
convention, as Ohio's candidate for the
presidency in 1888, makes in reality the
Fl rst gun from the Buckeye state in the
D presidential contest. Viewed in this light
the bold declaration of principles by the
Republicans stands out In bold relief as
compared with the trucking position of
the Ohio Democracy on the living issues of
the day. The Ohio Democracy do not af-
arm single great principle now demand
ing solution by the American people. The
nearest 10 anything of that sort is an init
m stion that In certain contingency they
will consent to an abolition of the internal
revenue tax on tobacco. We are left in
the dark as to the position Of the Ohio
Democracy on the subject of protection of
American industries Under the leadership
of gallant old John Sherman, the Republi-
can party of Ohio leave no doubt as to
their position on this subject. Their
banner is swung to the breeze with such
vigorous inscriptions as this I'VE are In
favor of protective tariff to secure to
American citizens the privilege of supply
ing every article which can be produced as
well in the United States as other countries
and sufficiently to supply American wants. 4"
There Is no doubt about the position here
taken. 1t cannot be claimed In one section
that the Republican party of Ohio are in
favor of free trade and In another section
that they are in favor of protection. 1t is
protection to American labor everywhere.
There Is no humbug of tariff for revenue

Burlington Republican Patriot: The
condition OF the corn crop in this county
can be stated in few words. Some por
tions OF the county will have good crops
without any more rain. In other parts the
crop is entirely ruined, and in some locali-
ties good rain this week would make a
fair crop. A fair estimate is that one
fourth is destroyed already. If it rains
this week there will be two thirds Of crop
in the county; if not, the county will have
perhaps half crop. This is not guess
work, but is the opinion of farmers from
all parts of the county carefully compared
